Marc Savard (born July 17, 1977) is a Canadian professional ice hockey center currently under contract with the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has previously played for the New York Rangers (by whom he was originally drafted in 1995), the Calgary Flames, Atlanta Thrashers, and the Boston Bruins.
Savard has not played since late in the 2010–11 season because of post-concussion syndrome.
Savard played major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Oshawa Generals, beginning in 1993–94. After his second season with the Generals, in which he scored a league-leading 139 points, he was selected 91st overall in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers. He continued to play in the OHL for two more seasons and earned his second Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy as league leading scorer in 1996–97 with 130 points. Savard then added 27 points in 15 playoff games, guiding the Generals to the 1997 J. Ross Robertson Cup and an appearance in the 1997 Memorial Cup.
In 1997–98, Savard was assigned by the Rangers to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hartford Wolfpack. He put up 74 points with Hartford while being called up to play in 28 games for the Rangers in his rookie professional campaign. The following season, he earned an expanded role with the Rangers and recorded 45 points in 70 games.
